FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to new benzisoselenazolonyl derivatives having antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic activities as well as their use. Also, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the benzisoselenazolonyl derivatives, their use in manufacturing a medicament and a method for treating inflammation and cancer diseases and preventing thrombosis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many researches focus on the remedy containing selenium because the selenium element has important functions in biologic body. But problem is inorganic selenium is difficult to absorb, and keeps a short time in blood, low activity and high toxicity. Compared with the characteristics of inorganic selenium, those of organoselenium compound have been improved very much.

Selenium is an important trace element. Deficiencies of selenium (<0.1 ppm) for a long time may induce various diseases, including hepatonecrosis, cardiac muscle injury, cancer, and rheumatic diseases.

So far, it has been known that Benzisoselenazolones (BISA), functioning in a GSH-Px-like way, inhibit in vitro the lipid peroxidation of microsome and have an effect in preventing the body from the peroxidation injuries. 2-phenyl-(1,2)-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-on (Ebselen) of the following formula is the best one of GSH-Px-like compounds with high anti-oxidative activity and low toxicity (LD50>6810 mg/Kg, mice):

Many researches are concentrated on modifying ebselen to improve its antineoplastic activity, but no successful antineoplastic active compound based thereon is reported up to now. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to modify ebselen to form new bisbenzisoselenazolonyl derivatives having higher anti-inflammatory activity, broader compatibility and lower toxicity. Meanwhile, antineoplastic organoselenium compounds having “biological response regulator” characteristic are obtained through modifying ebselen.

Example 5 The Experiment of Growth Inhibition to Cancer Cell by the Compounds

SRB assay (adherent cell) was applied in the example. Cancer cells (3-5×10⁴ cells/ml) were inoculated in a 96-well plate (180 μl/well) in air with 5% CO2 and saturation humidity at 37° C. for 24 h. A solution of 20 μl with different concentrations of test compound to each well, and was continued culturing for an indicated time in air with 5% CO₂ and saturation humidity at 37° C. After the indicated time, the culture solution was discarded, and then 100 μl of 10% trichloroactic acid (TCA) was added and placed in refrigerator at 4° C. to fix the cells for 1 hour. The solution was discarded, and the plate was washed with distilled water. After dried by centrifuge, 50 μl of SRB solution (0.4% with 1% HAc) was added to each well, and placed at ambient temperature for 10 minutes. After excess SRB solution was discarded, the 96-well plate was washed with 1% acetate solution 5 times in order to remove the no binding SRB. After dried by centrifuge, the plate was further dried in air. 100 μl of 10 mmol/L Tris solution (pH10.5, basic, no buffer solution) was added to each well, to dissolve SRB binding with cell completely. After homogenization, the OD value of each well was measured at 540 nm by 96-well microplate reader (TECAN SUNRISE Magellan USA). Here: Data of OD value=OD value (MTT or SRB+cell)−OD value (MTT or SRB, free cell). The OD±SD is for the parallel groups. The cell survive rate and drug inhibition rate were calculated according to the following equations: Cell survive rate %=(OD of treated group/OD value of control)×100% Drug inhibition rate %=[1−(OD value of treated group)/OD value of control]×100%

According to the above SRB method, E003 was screened in Bel-7402 (human liver cancer cell), KB (human nasopharyngeal cancer cell) and Hela (human cervical carcinoma cell). The results are listed in Tab. 1

Example 6 The Effect of the Compound on the Weight of Tumor

Lewis lung cancer tissue was resuscitated and subcultured by standard procedure. A piece of Lewis lung cancer was transplanted into the subcutaneous space on the back of each C 57 mouse for inoculation and growth. The Lewis lung cancer cells were dispersed in saline to form a cell suspension of 10⁶/ml. 0.2-0.3 ml of the suspension were inoculated into each C57 mouse

Mice were randomized into three groups, 10 for each group. In the treatment group, the mice were injected i.p. with E003 in amount of 50 mg/kg; in reference group, DDp, 2 mg/kg; and in the negative control group (solvent group), 0.5% CMC-Na. The total volume for every group is the same. E003 was administered by i.p. from the second day of transplantation for 3 days until the mice were sacrificed. The C57 mice were disinfected with 70% alcohol. The Lewis lung cancer tissue was removed, photographed and weighted. Then, the subcutaneous tumors were fixed by formaldehyde for further analysis.

The effects of DDP and E003 on the tumor volume are shown in Table 3.

TABLE 3 number E003 control DDP average (mm³) 284.2 748.1 473 Inhibiting rate % 0.62 0.367

It can be seen from the results of Table 3 that the inhibiting effect of E003 in Lewis lung cancer cells is stronger than that of DDP.

Example 8 Anti-Inflammation Activity

The anti-inflammatory effects of the test compounds E001, E002 and E003 were evaluated in xylene-induced ear oedema in mice. The mice were randomized into a no-treatment control group, three reference groups and three treatment groups. There are 10 animals in each group. The test compounds, saline and reference drugs (Indomethacin, Aspirin and Ebselen) were orally administered respectively. Ear oedema was induced by topical administration of xylene (0.5 ml per ear) to the inner surface of the right ear after 1 hour of the administration. After 2 hours, the mice were killed. The change in the ear's weight with diameter of 8 min was measured with a precision micrometer. The inhibiting rate of each compound to the xylene-induced ear oedema was calculated in accordance with the ear weight, and the results were listed in Table 7.

TABLE 7 sample model Ear oedema % Inhibiting rate (%) dosage Saline Ear oedema 14.66 Indomethacin Ear oedema 19.89 22 mg/kg Aspirin Ear oedema 10.63 200 mg/kg  Ebselen Ear oedema 6.22 68.72 (to indomethacin) 50 mg/kg 41.48 (to aspirin) E001 Ear oedema 4.81 75.81 (to indomethacin) 50 mg/kg 54.75 (to aspirin) E002 Ear oedema 9.85 50.47 (to indomethacin) 50 mg/kg  7.33 (to aspirin) E003 Ear oedema 7.91 60.20 (to indomethacin) 50 mg/kg 25.58 (to aspirin)

It can be concluded that the inventive compounds show higher anti-inflammatory activity than aspirin or indomethacin.

There are 5 animals in each group. The inventive compounds and reference drugs were orally administered respectively in amount of 30 mg/kg. The animals were anesthetized with urethane after 1 hour of the administration. The neck artery was separated surgically and OT value was measured (the stimulating conditions: electricity, 3 mA; time, 180 s). The results are listed in Table 8.
